Animal health 

Veterinary professionals care for millions of animals across Australia each year, from household pets to livestock and wildlife.¹ In 2023, the national herd included nearly 30 million cattle,² alongside millions of companion animals and native species.³ With such diversity, standard medications and over-the-counter (OTC) treatments often fall short of meeting every animal’s needs.

Pharmaceutical compounding bridges this gap by creating customised medications tailored to an animal’s size, species, condition, and preferences. From flavored chewables for selective pets to precise dosing for exotics, compounded medications improve compliance and outcomes. With Medisca as your veterinary compounding partner, you have the tools to deliver the personalised care every animal deserves.

Giving medicine to pets can be challenging. Many dogs resist tablets that are too large or unpalatable, and fewer than half will willingly take an unflavored tablet. Flavored formulations, however, are accepted by more than 90%.⁴ Compounding helps overcome them by offering the right flavors and dosage forms to make administering medications easier and more enjoyable. From cats and dogs to birds and bunnies, our versatile flavoring portfolio supports better care.
